Everyday I mourn the careers Aliona Kostornaia, Rika Kihira, and Sofia Akateva could have had. They are truly figure skating biggest losses.

Someone who watches Juniors and has more knowledge than me, please offer an opinion: Akateva is Kamila's successor in terms of the Eteri record breaking girl (with help of course)? Adeliia will be a sort of Maiia? Mura kind of gives me Kosto vibes, but she only placed third? What about Samodelkina? I didn't really feel anything while watching her at RusNats. Zhilina? Does Isabeau have a shot against them or she'll just be another Loena more or less?
